Tamaula, Mexico : Summer 2010 : direct, unmediated physical experience :)

this is Tamaula,Mx : UTPA Panorama Fall 2010

“The proliferation of materialism, technology, conceptuality and abstraction-all various methods of distancing from direct experience-is undermining sacred perspectives worldwide. Hiding effects and relationships behind veils of concept, language, and physical distance, the sum total of that which is “entitled to veneration” in our world is becoming smaller and smaller. Further, as we lose genuine contact with each other-and direct, unmediated physical experience-the intamcy through which compassion is naturally engendered is quickly and easily lost.”

The Heart of Learning: Spirituality in Education

Fun wit IDs :D

• lol! Notice: the scared expression on my freshman face (and the cowering shoulders), my young love for Cali based rockers The Deftones, and of course, my other loves: cats and Alice in Wonderland :)

amanda-d-11th-grade

• Skip forward to 11th grade: finally wearing glasses regularly (I had always been too ashamed of having Medicaid cheap-o glasses). There appears to be quite a sadness in my face :( I can imagine in my head: “ugh, another year. O lord when will it end?”  Public school education needs to be revisioned; a standardized test reflects what of an individuals creativity? answer: NOTHING! It’s more like a test for Alzheimer’s…

• Fresh out of HiSkool: I move on to South Texas College Mid-Valley campus; my ma teaches me how to drive the summer after I graduate :) Notice: I look like a large yellow egg with a head!

• Almost a rite of passage for young valle folk: Convergys DirectTv Pharr,Tx. Why? “They pay good.” Look at me, solosol floating about in my human shell (see sparkle in one eye). Here was my 6 month (this is how long I could take sitting in a cubicle, selling my minutes,seconds,hours to that box that sells us fear) dip into discovering first-hand the massive extent that Televison has on my people, the human race. It.Is.Bad.

•  My renewed Drivers Licence! Notice: I have alot of hair on my head & my face is very round, like the sun! :D

amanda-d-UTPA-hair-up

• 2010; now it gets that much more interesting! At first glance, I admit, I look alien…this is what a half shaven head can do to a persona…Notice: I am still Amanda de la Fuente, female, student, Indian in the Library :)

amanda-d-UTPA-hair-down

•  Notice: hair up, hair down, no hair, kinky hair, straight hair, blonde hair, black hair, brown hair, we are all the same, we are all human, we are all solosols!

FEEl GOOD WORLD & CHOICE HUMANITARIAN

This Indian in the Library beams!

I was awarded a grant to go to Guanajuato,Mexico in conjunction with FeelGoodWorld and Choice Humanitarian!

“8 day international partnership trip to experience first hand the work of our partners on the ground. You will work side-by-side with motivated villagers to complete various village initiated projects: water systems, bio-gas digesters, and more. This is an inter-cultural exchange that builds personal relationships, reveals our interconnectedness, and transforms our lives.” 

I am so excited! Prepeare for Greatness!

Words spillin from el Presidente

So these are Valley Folk! Look hard Obama, cuz these people, these people have some story!
 

Mestizos! Mestizas! The Cosmic Race in Action!  And right here in front of my eyes! Somehow reading my thoughts too!
Amazing! Must be that Indian blood runnin thru them, shoot Christopher Columbus said it himself,

 

“The Indians are the best people in the world and above all the gentlest
-without knowledge of evil -nor do they murder and steal…”

Truth according to Columbus, unfortunately he did continue his thought with,
“…they would make fine servants. With Fifty men we could subjugate them and make them do anything we want.”

ugh. History :(
but it’s ok Valle.
cuz THIS IS IT.

This is the place, the community, the people,
that will show me and the world
A NEW REALITY.

This is where the concept of a “Natural Economy” will take hold and be effective in ridding the peoples of its many woes;
poverty, unemployment, general unhappiness, unequality…
essentially the woes of billions others on this Earth.

These are the people WHO WILL FIND THEIR VOICE.
Who will TAKE OUT, TURN OFF, TUNE OUT the SUBJUGATION that was PUT ON THEM 500 YEARS AGO.
Woot! n dam Obama, that girl, that Mestiza from the fountain taking this photograph, she’s gonna be the ignitor, the spark
     and YOU! YOU reading this rite HERE, rite NOW, You my friend are THE FIRE!!!
